Ive had this product for maybe 3 weeks and I havent used too much. I did use it 3 times one week and it did not irritate my skin. I have real sensative skin so that was a plus. It leaves your face feeling refreshed and very soft.

WOW!
-02.07.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, smoothing, gentle yet effective
I was really impressed with this product on the very first use. It scrubbed away all of the dead skin cells and made my face look and feel a thousand times softer. I've only used a couple times so as far as long term I don't know how amazing it will be. I can use this 2-3 times a week as suggested without irritating my extremely sensitive and acne prone skin. My complexion is much more even after just a couple uses and a little goes a long way. Lots of bang for your buck! It has a little bit of a minty smell which i actually found to be pleasant as compared to other exfoliators that have a chemical type smell.

Mild rosacea sufferer who has learned the hard way
-09.10.12
Quick Take: definitely the best scrub i have ever tried
I was given a full tube of this at a local event and I was very wary to try it even once. I was diagnosed with mild rosacea earlier this year and, following the recommendations of my dermatologist, have pared my routine down to just a few simple products. Cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. Problem is, my face never felt clean and I desperately wanted to resume using a scrub once in blue moon. I followed the directions, applied a pea-size amount to wet hands, rubbed my hands together and very gently smoothed the scrub into my skin. I used little or no pressure, rinsed it off and my skin was glowing in a good way and is very soft to the touch. I will definitely use this once a week to start out but I'm in love with it. It rinses cleanly away and has such a mild scent that also washes away. A bit pricey here in Canada but will last for a very long time and your skin will thank you! I know mine certainly did!

Quick Take: exfoliating, non-drying
This is the best scrub I've ever used. It exfoliates my face and leaves it feeling clean and refreshed - NEVER dry. I have combination skin and I use this twice a week, with amazing results. Also, I love the scent. It is a staple of my skin care routine.

I love this scrub! It helps keep my skin clear and help control oil. I use it twice a week and you only need a little (makes it worth the price).

very very pleased
-05.26.12
I've been using this for about a week now and can say I felt a difference after the first use. My skin was smoother without feeling dry or irritated. It has a curious scent to it which might seem overpowering for some but I got used to it fast. Heed the instructions on not rubbing too hard, this scrub doesn't take a lot of effort to really work which is exactly how a scrub should be. It's great for priming the face before a serum or other topical treatment.

Quick Take: intensive, gentle
I've been using this for about 3 weeks now and i can totally tell the difference! The first time I used the product, I didn't think it was going to work. But now, it has made my skin extremely soft. No bumps at all. It kinda helped with my acne as well. I wish it came in a bigger tube though. It really works!!

Quick Take: intensive
I have been using this scrub for over a year. I absolutely love it and have found nothing that works better. The particles are very small and uniform, so they do not damage your skin. I try to use it twice a week. Oh and the smell is great - minty fresh!

-11.05.11
Quick Take: gentle, exfoliative, smell is not overwhelming, scrubber beads are good size
So good! I have just started using this product & have used it twice a week for the last two weeks. It does exfoliate as it claims. I was worried it would dry certain areas on my face out & cause breakouts, but have not had a problem yet. As of now I can recommend it; the pricing seems fair as one does not require much at each use so the tube should last awhile.

Love the feel of my face, neck and décolletage after a good scrub with this product. It's not too harsh, not to creamy. Thanks to Sephora for introducing me via a product sample!

Definitely RETEXTURIZED my porous face!
-09.13.11
Quick Take: intensive, natural, holy grail exfoliant
Before use: The consistency of the product was like thick, dried toothpaste. (Smelled like it, too!) This sounds bad, but my sister and I thought we accidentally bought a tube of toothpaste covered in Strivectin labelling! This sounds really silly, but fortunately the results are surprising...! The directions on the tube were short & vague..."Apply a small amount to wet hands. Gently massage on face and neck. Rinse well." But for how LONG do you massage? or Do you wash your face with cleanser before? & Do you wet your face before you use the product? It does not say... so we just: used a gentle cleanser, dried our face, wet our hands, dry face, and rubbed the product on our dry face. More clarification on the directions would have helped with developing the best results IMO
During use: It was definitely NOT for the sensitive skinned people, because it was quite a dry, thick paste with little sugars that were intensively exfoliating on a dry face with lightly wet hands. Definitely felt like we were rubbing minty, smelling toothpaste on our faces! (which wasn't a bad thing) After a minute, we both thought it was getting painful, so we added a bit of water as we exfoliated, and OH MY GOSH, it made the exfoliant so much more pleasant and smooth into an almost sudsy luxurious texture. Sort of like an expensive double facial/peel duo! 3 minutes later...after rinsing off the product
After: DEAR BABY JESUS, our skin was glowing and felt so smooth, and super soft. I almost couldn't believe it was my own skin! I looked closer in the mirror and the huge pores on my nose got significantly smaller! I can't help but to keep touching my face because it feels so amazingly soft like smoooooth, whipped butter! And a huge plus was that immediately afterwards, I applied toner and moisturizer and eye cream, and I swear this exfoliator made my products absorb so much faster because all the dead skin cells on the surface were gone!
Conclusion: HELLO HOLY GRAIL EXFOLIATOR!

Quick Take: intensive, wrinkle reducer, exfoliator, cleanser
It is a highly effective cleanser, exfoliater, and fine line reducer. Three in one value. This twice weekly cleanser is a great primer before you apply a mask or other skin treatment.

Softest skin ever
-07.13.11
This lieft my skin feeling silky smooth and minty fresh. I'll use this in my face to help with minor resurfacing, it actually helped get rid of a few impurities. I recommend this to anyone who wants softer skin. Even is wrinkles and stretch maeks aren't an issue yet.

This scrub makes me feel like I just got a facial. I use it twice a week like it says to and it makes your skin incredibly smooth. I wouldn't say that it helps get rid of pimples, but I don't think that is its purpose. I feel like my face is a clean slate after using it, and that any dirt in my pores is removed.

Best Scrub Ever!
-06.08.11
Quick Take: intensive, natural, gentle
I've tried everything from drugstore brands to Clinique and Lancome, but this is by far the best scrub I have ever used! It is pricey, but I don't know how I could ever go back to another brand now! It is creamy, but the beads just smooth and slough away gently yet thoroughly. I love it and will definitely be a return customer for this product!
